Well, I'd say he failed a bit. AFAIK, aviate, navigate, communicate - in that order. He did aviated fine, but he prioritized communication over navigation. He had better landing spots to choose from, instead of entering Squawk code, and the spot he chose was extremely dangerous in terms of landing distance and unstabilized approach. Luckily, it ended well, but it he'd have flared a bit longer he'd crash into trees.
He didn't fail not even a bit. Dude has no injury and plane is intact. What if he did everything "by the book" and then fucked up the landing or went to hard down....
